1st hydro grow! What have I gotten into

Not really sold on this hydroponic thing yet and I do know everybody says not much happens in the first week while the roots established themselves and I didn’t see any roots coming out of the basket until Thursday and now there’s probably a 3 foot root going into the bucket. The second set of leaves in the picture we’re not there yesterday. They weren’t even little nubs yesterday so that’s very promising. If Anybody’s looking for a good chiller. I got this guy for 129 on prime day and within 30 minutes. It took my water from 78 degrees to 67 in 30 min!! it’s rated for 16 gallons and I’ve been very very impressed. I went crazy with air stones and other things to protect the roots from rot. I was so scared because I never thought I could afford a chiller. I will tell you the southern AG Is awesome if you’re planning on getting root guard check this stuff out it’s half the price and twice the concentrate! I can’t stand this 5 gallon bucket set up. It is such a pain in the ass to lift the lid so I ordered a Hydro bucket, which should be here at the end of the week. I’ll add a little review of that. I think that’s gonna make my life so easy for .
